2006 F-100 Supernationals - Tearin' it up in Tennessee

How could you go wrong with a name like Supernationals? I don't know either, especially when we're talking about Pat Ford's 28th Annual F-100 Supernationals. Combine this show's long heritage and the 50th anniversary of the '56 F-100 and it's pretty much a slam dunk.

Not having spent much if any time in the Volunteer State, it would be a new adventure, which I always look forward to, and it would prove to be a great one! Being the end of May in the South and surrounded by lush green, I soon found out how it got that way--rain. Even with rain almost every afternoon like clockwork, the fairgrounds were still packed as if everyone already expected it. A large gathering of nice trucks is a rare phenomenon, but one that stretched from Thursday into the late hours Saturday night for the eagerly anticipated awards show is even rarer.

Diehard Ford truck owners drove from all over the country to strut their stuff, as well as some who participated in the F-100 Super Tour that started out here in California at Bobco and continued on for thousands of miles throughout the U.S. Between shooting features and show coverage, I got the chance to talk to many truck owners, readers, friends, advertisers, promoters, and enjoyed a Philly cheese steak or two...boy were they good.
